How to Add a Chat Widget to Your Website
Adding a chat widget to your website takes three steps: sign up, copy one line of JavaScript, and paste it before the closing </body> tag. Okidoki.chat works with WordPress, Shopify, React, Next.js, or plain HTML. The widget loads asynchronously so it won't affect page speed, and the AI automatically ingests your site content to start answering visitor questions immediately.
Step 1 — Create Your Okidoki.chat Account
Sign up at okidoki.chat/admin/signup and configure your widget appearance, greeting message, and brand colors. Upload documents or connect your website URL so the AI has content to learn from.
Step 2 — Copy the Embed Code
In the Okidoki.chat dashboard, navigate to the Installation section. You will find a single <script> tag with your unique app ID. Copy it to your clipboard.
Step 3 — Paste into Your Site
For HTML sites, paste the script before </body>. For WordPress, use a header/footer plugin. For Shopify, add it to theme.liquid. For React or Next.js, use the @okidoki/react package or add the script to your root layout.
Verify the Installation
Open your website in a new browser tab. You should see the chat bubble in the bottom-right corner. Click it to test a conversation and confirm the AI is pulling from your knowledge base.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does adding a chat widget slow down my website?
No. Okidoki.chat loads asynchronously and defers non-critical resources, so your page speed is unaffected.
Can I customize the widget colors and position?
Yes. The dashboard lets you set brand colors, avatar, position, greeting message, and more.
Do I need a developer to install it?
No. If you can paste a line of code into your site template, you can install Okidoki.chat yourself in under 5 minutes.
Is there a WordPress plugin?
You can use any header/footer injection plugin to add the one-line script. A dedicated WordPress plugin is on the roadmap.
